INSTRUCTIONS

A pastry turnover encasing a spinach, cheese, olive, and prosciutto
filling, baked until golden.  Mix together the oil, garlic, black
pepper, and Parmesan. Cover and  marinate for 2 to 3 hours. Roll out
the puff pastry on a floured  board to form a rectangle 12x20- inches.
(Pinch any seams together so  that you essentially have one large piece
of dough.) Chill for 30  minutes. Squeeze the spinach of all its
liquid. Spread the spinach  down the center of the length of the dough
forming a layer 4 inches  wide and extending to within 1-inch of either
end. Cover the spinach  with half of the Swiss cheese. Blanket the
cheese with even layers of  prosciutto. Spoon the marinade over the
ham. Sprinkle the remainder  of the Swiss cheese over the prosciutto.
Top everything with black  olives. Fold the dough like a turnover,
overlapping the sides. Crimp  the ends together firmly to seal. Place
seam side down on an  ungreased baking sheet. (Up to this point may be
prepared 2 to 4  hours in advance and refrigerated. Return to room
temperature to  bake.) Beat the egg and water together. Brush the
pastry with the egg  wash. This gives the loaf a golden glaze when
baked. Bake in a  preheated 350F degrees oven for 30 minutes. Transfer
to a platter,  cut into 1 and 1/2-inch wide slices, and serve
immediately.  Source(including opening narrative): The Uncommon Gourmet
